> Does dropping 'm' from the modeline solve your problem?

Hi Jani,

I cannot believe this !!!

# The "old", subject machine:
#  "ASUS P5E-VM HDMI" with Intel G35/ICH9R, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, 3.0 GHz
#  kernel-3.7.1

[]$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
 ...
 kernel /boot/LFSkernel root=/dev/sda3 video=640x400M at 70        # without 'm'!

[]$ startx ...
# After exiting from Xorg (runlevel 5) to this console text, runlevel 3:

[]$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 0;
 ...
[]$
123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-
-bash:
123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-123456789-:
command not found

(Note:  the Comments limited window does not give proper justice to the actual
command line, '123456789-123456789- ...'.
In real life, on the screen, the command text DOES wrap-around correctly to the
next row after the 80th column.)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

Unless you come up with other questions/suggestions/comments, etc., I think(?)
you can close this (I'm still in shock!)

Best Wishes,
-- Alex

PS  We'll never know why 640x400 works.  Could it be the "M" which moves us to
a different look-up table (than what xrandr shows as "natural" resolutions)?
